About this space

The Tent is a unique space located just a stone's throw from the thoroughfare of Bishopsgate and Liverpool St. Station. A 16-sided structure, made in Saudi Arabia and covered in woven goat's hair, the tent is ideal for meetings, workshops/training events and parties. Along with the stunning garden courtyard it is a real oasis in the City!

It is carpeted and fully heated, with atmospheric lighting. The tent is circular with cushioned bench seating around the edge. There are no tables in the tent and people are asked to remove their shoes before entering.

The undercover glass foyer that overlooks the courtyard garden may be used to set out food and refreshments

A really cosy venue, and it was kept clean and ready for my party. The caretaker was helpful and on hand for any questions or assistance we needed, and the bathroom was kept very clean. It was easy to work the lights and the heating inside the tent, and the location is fantastic as it is right in the heart of Bishopsgate, there is a conveniently placed loading bay parking round the corner too which was helpful to move heavy speaker equipment from my car to the tent. Very satisfied with the venue, exactly as described and looking forward to booking it for future events.

Birthday Party · 30 guests · April 2025
The venue was stunning, a perfect 30th birthday venue in central London that felt very private and also very beautiful. All my guests had lots of compliments for the space. It didn’t need any decoration to improve the space for my event. The caretaker was on hand to help but also left us alone, which was good. The space is definitely worth visiting as it’s much better and bigger than the pictures too and included more outdoor area than I was expecting. It works well both in summer and winter as the space is cozy inside and the garden was lovely too.
Had to bring my own speaker for music but it does specify this on the ad.
